Chapter 183 Is there anyone who is not afraid of insects?
After Zhicang finished speaking, he returned to the hotel and brought out a few buckets of clean water. He first cleaned the mud off the potatoes, and then washed them little by little in the buckets.
"Boss, do you want some baked potatoes? I can make the dip, it's guaranteed to be delicious. Or maybe mashed potatoes or something like that, I can do that."
Zhikang put the washed potatoes in a basin, and his eyes lit up when he talked about cooking.
Zhichang was probably the happiest person besides the customers. He had just taken a preliminary look around and guessed that there would be a lot of ingredients here.
For a chef, this is the happiest thing. Every time he makes a delicious dish, it is a solitary spiritual journey.
He loves it here.
"Then let's roast potatoes." Xia Yan also wanted to try his cooking skills.
The customers who couldn't bear the itchiness any longer rushed back to their rooms to take a bath to try to relieve the pain without even having time to share the potatoes.
Xiongxiong had trimmed the overgrown roses neatly, and the thorns on the flower stems posed no threat in his hands.
After all, it's just a wooly bear and isn't afraid of being pricked.
Xiong Xiong is also planning to trim the weeds on the road in a while, in case future guests see such a road, it may have a negative impact on the hotel.
As a store manager, there are many things to consider.
Zhichang put the processed potatoes back into the buffet kitchen. When he came out again, he carried a basket on his back. He was going to pick some oranges.
Xia Yan had nothing to do, so he followed him and prepared to help.
As the two walked, many locusts as long as their little fingers flew out of the grass, flapping their wings and flying past their eyes. The dense swarm was scary.
Xia Yan, who was not particularly afraid of insects, also frowned.
Looking more closely, she saw that there were not only grasshoppers in the grass, but also a mantis as big as a palm, with its forearms raised high and shaking from side to side, its compound eyes staring at her, as if it was about to attack her at the next moment.
Under it, a black millipede more than ten centimeters long crawled quickly, with its thousand legs on both sides of its body swinging rhythmically.
Not to mention the big scary beetles, three-centimeter-long red ants, long, soft snakes, and giant spiders hiding in their nests made of leaves...
Oh my god, there are too many bugs...
Xia Yan got goosebumps all over his body. How much he loved this place before, how uncomfortable he felt now.
She could only accept three or four bugs with difficulty, but she really couldn't accept countless bugs.
"Zhigang, go by yourself. I'm going back." Xia Yan frowned, turned around and ran towards the safe zone. The startled insects kept flying towards her, but she picked them up with her quick eyes and hands.
Zhikang looked at her back as she ran away for her life, not quite understanding what the boss was afraid of, as bugs wouldn't eat people.
He retracted his gaze, grabbed the big black spider crawling on his leg in his hand, and held it in front of him to look at it carefully. The spider's eight powerful legs were kicking around, its body was covered with fur and its belly was round. He swallowed his saliva.
Fried big black spider is also a good dish.
It’s a pity that you are carrying an open basket. I’ll spare your life.
Zhikang gently put the spider back on the ground, and following its escape route, he saw a green snake as thick as his wrist.
Another delicious dish, the snake soup is even better.
Zhicang threw the basket aside, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to catch the snake...
Xia Yan pulled Xiong Xiong back and turned around in front of him, his tone so anxious that he almost cried: "Xiong, please check my back and hair to see if there are any bugs!"
It was horrible, horrible! She just saw a centipede crawling across her shoulder, and it disappeared at an extremely fast speed.
Her scalp immediately went numb and she started breakdancing on the spot. What she feared most was this kind of insect with many legs and running very fast. It was so disgusting, even more disgusting than a mouse!
And sometimes disappearing is more terrifying than seeing it.
"Boss, don't move." Xiong Xiong saw it at a glance, swept it down quickly, and then Xia Yan stepped on it.
"Let's see if there are any more!" Xia Yan got goosebumps all over his body and asked Xiong Xiong to check again.
Soon she would have to buy insecticide and a weed whacker, and also add restrictions to the protective cover to keep the bugs out.
This feeling of moving into a nest of insects is really uncomfortable.
"System, when can we move again?"
[You must live here for at least one month]
Xia Yan: ...
"Boss, there are no more bugs." Xiong Xiong looked at it two or three times and said with certainty.
"Well... go ahead and do your work..."
She was going to go back and change her clothes, but she felt as disgusted as a cup that had been crawled upon by a spider, so she didn't want to wear either the clothes or the shoes.
Fortunately, no bugs can enter the hotel, which is a blessing in disguise.
After taking a shower and changing into new clothes, Xia Yan felt much better.
She bought five bottles of super-efficient insecticide in the mall, and spent 10,000 points to buy an advanced lawn mower, which she gave to Xiongxiong, asking him to spray the lawn mower one meter away from the protective cover.
As for Zhigang, no one knew what he was grabbing in the bushes, but he had something in his left and right hands.
Xia Yan brought out his rocking chair and a small coffee table, lying on them to set up new restrictions for the protective shield in the background.
She also discovered a new function. After authorizing herself, she could control the isolation of the protective shield with just her mind.
For example, now, no matter how heavy the rain is outside, she can't get into the protective shield. In the future, she can lie in the safe zone and watch the rain and snow, and she won't be cold.
Before Xia Yan could take a few more sips of tea to enjoy it, he saw that Zhikang was abnormal - his body entered the safe zone, but his hands were still outside.
A closer look revealed that several bugs on the shield had been flung away. The setting had worked!
But when Xia Yan saw clearly what was in Zhikang's hand, his face almost turned green.
"...Zhijiang, what are you holding in your hand?..."
Zhichang's eyes were gentle and full of energy. "Boss, this snake is very strong. I'll make you some snake soup to nourish you later. This centipede is the largest I've ever seen. It's crunchy when fried and very delicious. I didn't catch many, so you can just have it as a snack."
Xia Yan choked and turned pale. "Thank you, thank you. I think it's better to release them. It's not easy for them to grow up this big. What do you think?"
Eat centipedes? Snack? Play?
She was a little breathless.
This reminded her of when she visited food festivals in the past, where the specialty snacks sold were various fried insects, including spiders and centipedes.
Especially the fried centipede, she couldn't figure it out. How could there be such a big centipede? It was black, shiny, and long, with legs on both sides of its body. How could she eat it?
Zhichang seemed to understand something. He tilted his head to look at her and asked tentatively, "Boss, you don't like it?"
Xia Yan's expression was hard to describe. He said bitterly, "Zhigang, you should keep it for yourself. I'm afraid of bugs."
Zhicang showed regret on his face. He looked at the food in his hand and was reluctant to let go, struggling with himself.
Just at this moment, Qiao Zhen walked out of the hotel. When she saw what Zhi Kang was holding in his hand, her eyes lit up and she ran over.
"Manager Zhicang, are you going to make snake soup? Can you sell me a bowl?"
